Looking to get into this band , was wondering if someone could tell me some songs to add to a playlist to get a feel for the band.
Watched a ESPN 30 for 30 on the Birth of Big Air, and I heard a few of their tunes and that sparked an interest.

    Oh geez, where to start? Pretty much every song they ever released is fantastic!
    Here is a list of some that I think will give you an idea of what they're about, and also which spans their entire catalog and I think gets at their variety in style, and I think are some of their best songs:

    Waiting Room
    Suggestion
    Full Disclosure
    Epic Problem
    Strangelight
    No Surprise
    Caustic Acrostic
    Arpeggiator
    Facet Squared
    23 Beats Off
    Sweet And Low
    Birthday Pony
    Forensic Scene
    Combination Lock
    Target
    Turnover
    Sieve-Fisted Find
    Greed
    Two Beats Off
    Shut the Door
    Reclamation
    Stacks
    Long Division
    Dear Justice Letter

    :)

    I've finally listened to Repeater + 3 songs.
    Amazing.

    That and The Argument are my favorites, though every Fugazi album is stellar.

    13 songs I heard before. It's good too. I am checking their albums out chronologically.

    I agree. There is no such thing as a Fugazi album that isn't awesome.
